Hi all:

Whenever I open FFS, it's opened with whatever settings I had when I last closed it. Usually, I forget about FFS doing that and end up messing something up with either my saved settings files (ouch) or my files (OUCH!). Could you add an option so that I can choose FFS's default opening settings? Having the option to open with my default settings file would be great.

Thank you for providing us with this excellent utility!

You can do that already: append the path of your "default" ffs_gui config file to the command line of the shell link with which you start FreeFileSync.

Thanks for the reply. I'm using Windows 7. I've been trying to figure out how to do this with my shortcut, but it keeps saying it's an invalid line. Can you tell me how to append the config file to the target line in Windows 7?

Thank you.
